Have three or more pictures you want to hang in a single line and have no idea how to space or hang them evenly? Here is an easy method that won’t mess up your walls!
STEP 1: Using craft paper or wrapping paper and a pencil, trace each frame and label with the piece of artwork it is.Using scissors cut out each piece.
STEP 2: With painter's tape, attach each piece of paper to the wall where you would like to hang the artwork.Make sure to keep the spacing between the artwork the same by measuring.Ensure they are evenly in a line.
STEP 3: With a tape measure, measure EACH piece separately from the picture frame wire to the top of the frame putting some tension on the wire like it is hanging.Record center of frame and distance from wire to the top of the frame.
STEP 4: Mark the same measurements to the corresponding piece of artwork paper on the wall.Remember to mark both the side to side center and top to bottom to find the center point for the picture hanger.
STEP 5: Hammer in picture hanger making sure the bottom of the hook is on the mark you made.
STEP 6: Hang each piece of artwork OVER the paper. I like to leave the paper up in case one of the pictures is off I can adjust the paper easily.
STEP 7:When everything is hung perfectly, pull off paper and level each piece of art. If one is hung too high low, gently adjust the picture wire tighter to hang higher or loosen to hang lower.
